When it comes to cybersecurity, prevention is vital to successful protection. Having a set plan with strategies and tools to prevent fraud can help avoid and mitigate threats, such as phishing, social media threats, vishing, and mobile app fraud – all of which can result in significant losses for your organization.
Fraudulent attacks continue to plague organizations. According to Fortra research, fraud makes up nearly 25% of reported social media attacks. Your organization can't afford to ignore fraud and needs to combat it with advanced digital risk protection.
Effective Fraud Prevention
External fraud prevention relies on broad, proactive monitoring, expert-led threat data curation, and full mitigation of legitimate threats. Organizations can use this data to strengthen frontline defenses and enrich internal intelligence, improving their ability to detect and respond to potential threats. Continuously updating intel on emerging fraud tactics is essential.
Robust threat intelligence also enhances existing security controls, while active threat engagement and disruption help interrupt fraudulent activity. Learn more about Fortra Brand Protection Customer Phishing Protection.
